1 Thessalonians 1:6

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
